Cruise Coronado Bay Aboard the Aquila 44 'Catitude' — Luxury Power-Cat Charter

On any still morning in San Diego Bay, the Aquila 44 'Catitude' looks like a private harbor platform ready to push into the Pacific. Based in Coronado, California, this luxury power catamaran departs from 1715 Strand Way, Coronado CA 92118 for 3–6 hour charters that balance performance with living-space comfort. The Aquila 44 is a pure bred power catamaran with a fresh evolution of classic boating traditions. Efficiency in design and performance compliment her luxurious living. She features 3 cabins, 3 heads, spacious salon and galley and extensive flybridge. Because a US Coast Guard captain’s license is required for this vessel, most bookings bring aboard a hired skipper to run the boat while you relax. Captain's fee is $100/hour + gratuity, paid directly to captain in cash. Per federal law we cannot select a captain for you, but would be happy to introduce you to a choice of local skippers who are qualified operate the boat. Rates include all taxes, fees and fuel charges, but do not include the hired captain cost. Choose a morning run to glide past the Hotel del Coronado and under the Coronado Bridge, a midday cruise to the kelp beds and shallow reefs off Point Loma where dolphins and sea lions hunt, or a late-afternoon charter for a sky-on-fire sunset against the downtown San Diego skyline. Stability of the twin-hull design makes the Aquila ideal for photographers, families with kids, and anyone who wants to move around the deck without losing balance. The flybridge provides cathedral views for navigation and light-filled living spaces keep everyone social between stops. Logistics are straightforward: check in at 1715 Strand Way with the photo ID and credit card used for payment. Charters run 3–6 hours, perfect for half-day escapes, celebratory gatherings, or short overnight transfers (confirm with operator). The boat’s three cabins and heads mean this is a small-crew floating basecamp rather than a stripped-down rental. This is a standout Coronado offering because it pairs high-speed cruising with overnight-capable comfort in a harbor that rewards bold lines: the sweep of Pacific swell, working tugboats, harbor seals, and a skyline that goes from shipyard cranes to glass towers. For visitors who value space, speed, and solid seaworthiness on San Diego Bay, the Aquila 44 'Catitude' is a refined, practical way to own a day on the water. Bring sunscreen, a windproof layer, and non-marking shoes; guests should also pack sunglasses and a camera with a polarizing filter to cut glare. The company requires photo ID and the card used to reserve at check-in. Book early for weekend summer windows and ask about custom itineraries for whale-watching season. The vessel’s layout makes it easy to host intimate dinners or day-long outings.
